Page 2 Thank you for purchasing your new Eazy Pod™ filter. We are sure you will be delighted with its performance. If you are unsure about anything, please consult your Evolution Aqua dealer or contact us.

This is the time that it takes for the total water volume of the pond to pass through the filter system once. On Eazy Pod ponds, where is used as the only filtration system, a total pond volume turn over of every 2 hours is found to be best. Therefore if you have a 10,000 litre koi pond, a flow rate of 5,000 litres per hour is ideal.
Important: The Eazy Pod filter needs to be supported evenly on a level base (a paving flag is ideal). Failure to do so could cause damage when it is full of water.

Page 5 Gravity Fed Installation Section IMPORTANT…For gravity fed installations, you will need to swap pipes D and E for eachother, (no cutting required) and change the configuration of the inlet, outlet fittings and valves. The return pipe D although crucial for a pump fed system would impede a gravity unit when slight fouling of debris occurs in the Pod.
Page 6 The slide valve G is no longer necessary; however you could reposition it directly after your pump for maintenance use. Recommendations: It is important be able to isolate the Pod for maintenance purposes. Therefore we recommend that you install an isolating valve (4 inch / 90-115 mm slide or ball valve) on your inlet gravity line before the Pod.
